AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
H chondrite meteorite (H) of excellent quality (NWA XXX) XXL size, museum-grade piece, unique, fusion crust intact.
Discovered in Mauritania in 2024, exhibiting remarkable aesthetic and preservation qualities.
This complete specimen weighs 405 grams and stands out for the following features:
- Beautiful and homogeneous black fusion crust, well preserved
- Clear natural orientation, evidence of its atmospheric flight
- Numerous deep regmaglypts (surface indentations with fingerprint-like appearance)
- Whole and intact specimen, no restoration
- Soft desert patina that enhances surface relief
Meteorites from North Africa and the West (NWA) are highly sought after for their Saharan provenance and scientific importance. Chondrites represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, dating to about 4.56 billion years ago, offering a direct view of planetary formation.
This piece has excellent visual impact: its oriented shape and well-developed regmaglypts make it a scientifically important specimen and an attractive display piece, ideal for serious collectors or for investment.
